Youtube links

Has the way we post Youtube links changed? Any links I post don't show as the actual video, just the link?

When the software was changed months ago, URLs without 'player_embedded' ended up auto converting to embedded. (personally I found that inconvenient, because I often post youtubes as quote source which I want as a link, but not embedded)

But last week or so, that disappeared so once again if you just post a URL, you get only the URL.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9vST6hVRj2A

But if you surround the URL in [ video ] tags, you get the video:

i.e.

[ video ] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vST6hVRj2A [ / video ]

becomes:

Ran into the same issue and didn't see where the tags were. Candy chikita fixed it for me though.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

T'was the witch of November come stealing."

ACK!
At least it has chased Trooper and The Boys in the Bright White Sportscar out of my noodle.
